Dahab Dive Resorts

Sharm el Sheikh is the gateway for your diving holiday in Dahab. From here your diving resort in Dahab is only a transfer away. Dahab began as a little fishing village but today stands alongside the other Egyptian diving resorts as a firm favourite with scuba divers. It has got a little bigger through the years but still retains that Bedouin magic of old. Dahab is an intimate dive resort, where life is laid back, the sun always shining and the blue seas are sitting on your doorstep. It is the perfect place to lose yourself and relax completely. And when you are not diving, take a trip into the desert, climb Mount Sinai or try your hand at yoga - Dahab is a place explore.

Technical and recreational divers alike are drawn to Dahab. Our Dahab dive resorts are also a popular choice for novice divers as many sites are well sheltered from currents. Drop down the chimney of the Bells onto the Blue Hole, a remarkable o-ring of a reef, perched atop a vertical drop off. But it's just as good seen snorkeling from the surface. The canyon splits the seabed into a chasam filled with anthias. The Eel Garden lives up to its name but just try and get close to these shy creatures! The light house offers a great dive to all levels of experience and the local shoreline is as if built for divers. Sea horses, cornet fish and morays live amid the soft coral reef. Macro lovers will not be disappointed. Dahab's diving is as vibrant as ever and still with the same charm.

We had a fab week in Egypt and would not hesitate to recommend Scuba Travel - fantastic service !

As with all of Egypt, you can dive here all year and it is a hot spot for some winter sun or gorgeous summer holiday. The air and water temperatures do drop off during our winter months but it rarely goes below 20 degrees. In the summer the water warms up to around 28 degrees so perfect shorty weather.

Diving Highlights

No trip to Dahab would be complete without a dive at the Blue Hole or Canyon but there is loads more to this resort. Whilst this is not an area of the Red Sea you would typically expect to see big fish at, manta and sharks are seen each year so keep you eyes peeled whilst you enjoy.

  • Turtles
  • Seahorses
  • Napoleons
  • Massive hard coral formations
  • Morays
  • Sea pens

Top dive sites: the Blue Hole & Bells, the Canyon, the Islands, Gabr el Bint, the Lighthouse

Scuba Travel Tips

Most of the diving in Dahab is shore diving but there are one or two locations that can be accessed by boat. You can also travel back to Sharm for the day to dive the Thistlegorm. Remember to ask locally about adding these extras. Take a day out of your diving to go into the Sinai peninsular for a desert trek or trip up Mount Sinai.
